Smile!

I love this tired, gassy smile!

And look everyone, a smile (kind of) from Troy with TWO eyes open! Wow!

6 random things

Marisa tagged me to write 6 random things about me forever ago. It has seriously taken me this long to come up with these silly things!

1. I have to have a made bed to sleep. Even if its making it right before I hop in. (Which doesn't happen anymore, they are made in the morning or it drives me crazy.)

2. I am afraid of heights and spiders.

3. I am not flexible, physically or otherwise. I'm a schedule person and I have to have things planned out. Being spontaneous or going with the flow is very hard for me.

4. I hate having the TV on in the evenings or afternoons. (I've got to have the disney channel in the mornings while I'm getting ready!) I think becuase it makes me feel guilty for neglecting Troy, whether he is watching it or I am. I believe this bothers Ted when he comes home and wants to relax with a TV show or movie, and I say 'Play with Troy!'

5. I don't ever wear lipstick. I can't, it looks funny on me. I'm a lip gloss girl.

6. My favorite scent is the smell of suntan lotion. I love the coconut smell, and would smell like a beach all year if I could.

So here are some more pictures of Zada with her eyes open. She is now 10 lbs. 6 oz. and growing!

Troy is doing really well. (If you aren't talking about sleeping through the night. That's another story.) He is actually cute with Zada, tickling her, playing peek-a-boo with her, and giving her kisses. She just has to learn to avoid the footballs being thrown in the living room. Troy is doing really well at entertaining himself too and doesn't seem to mind the extra attention that I have to give Zada. I am so lucky to have such a good boy to make this transition easier.

So one of the benefits of having a big baby, is that I have less weight to lose! At 2 weeks I fit into some of my old jeans and I only have 13 lbs. to go until I'm at my pre-pregnancy weight! Yippee! (This seems amazing to me since with Troy I had 35 lbs. to lose. And yes I eventually got down to pre-pregnancy weight with him too.) Now I just have to get through the holidays :)

Madagascar

We've had a lot of family come up to see us since Zada arrived. Okay maybe not 'a lot' but more then ever before little Zada came. My mom came for a week (Yes, I cried when she left, but I think I'm okay now.) Ted's parents came for about 3 days, and then my brother Lance and his wife Autumn came to see us for about 3 days as well. When Lance and Autumn were here we all went to see Madagascar 2.
Yes, all of us. Troy sat and watched the whole thing. Zada slept through the whole thing. And Ted and I enjoyed being in a movie theater again. It was great to take our whole family to the movies! There are some things I will miss about the sleepy stage of newborns!

Happy Halloween!

Troy was a puppy again this year for Halloween.

Zada was dressed in her 'I love my mummy' onsie.

Dad, Troy, and their pumpkin.

I love sleeping newborns! Doesn't she look sweet?

Try to ignore the bags under my eyes! I'm a little tired!

Troy is doing better then expected. So far so good!
